(Intellectually challenging work.)<br /><br /><br />"Do you think all those millions of European immigrants who came to the U.S in the 19th century were all post-doctorate summa cum laude geniuses?"<br /><br />Very clearly, the genetic potential was there to be passed on to subsequent generations to become such. <br />Storey Musgrave, astronaut who piloted all 5 space shuttles and fixed Hubble, was born on a dairy farm and grew up fixing tractors.<br /><br />My own family: Grampa came from Denmark, became a U.S. citizen and then homesteaded in the frozen north of Alberta, Canada, doing farming and ranching. No mestizo labor force. He and the kids did it all by themselves.<br /><br />My dad came to U.S. as a young man, was a carpenter (when such skilled labor still paid well, before scab mestizo labor drove down wages -- and building quality) and eventually became a successful homebuilder, building quality houses with crews of well-paid White guys, member of National Association of Homebuilders.<br /><br />Me, third generation, I'm a girl. I didn't accomplish much; just a housewife. AHA! you say. Your family's downwardly mobile!<br /><br />No. My son is National Merit Finalist; Presidential Scholars candidate; likely will be valedictorian; was just awarded a full ride scholarship to University.<br /><br />Grampa had some smarts, clearly. But here's the kicker: My family's story is common -- for Northern European immigrants.<br /><br />Meanwhile, as Steve has blogged about before, stories of mestizo families climbing up are NOT common. In fact, virtually nonexistent. IS the genetic potential there? Sure doesn't look like it. 4th gen mestizos routinely do WORSE than 2nd gen.<br />(See No Excuses by Thernstroms.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-12683252743914319322013-02-24T09:24:55.835-08:002013-02-24T09:24:55.835-08:00"But I must say the GOP is becoming more and ...<i>"But I must say the GOP is becoming more and more of white trash party."<br /><br />Yeah, which is why they easily won the married college graduates making over 50 grand a year vote.</i><br /><br />And why the Dems have a solid lock on the total moron demographics.Svigornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-49643518436036552802013-02-24T09:24:21.449-08:002013-02-24T09:24:21.449-08:00"Two of America's greatest accomplishment...<i>"Two of America's greatest accomplishments, the atomic bomb and lending on the Moon, were done mostly by European scientists - and the fact that many were Jewish does not change the fact that they were born in Europe and not America. Bohr, Neumann, Ullam, Einstein, Von Braun, etc, none were native-born Americans."</i><br /><br />Only is some fantasy from a PC re-History book. Also something's missing. Accomplishments don't leap from the forehead of Zeus. The B-29 was more expensive, complex, under longer development, and arguably more difficult than the atom bomb. The bomb wouldn't have been built if not for DuPont and Union Carbide. Einstein was a great physicist, but what work did Einstein do on the bomb for the US?<br /><br />People like to throw around Einstein's name because he was a committed socialist, a real True Believer:<br /><br /><a href="http://monthlyreview.org/2009/05/01/why-socialism" rel="nofollow">"Why Socialism?", Albert Einstein, May 1949.</a><br /><br />The individual brilliance of a handful of "great men" misses the forest for a few trees. All people have limits. For instance, the reason you see Einstein's picture in so many college bike shops is he never learned to drive. He once said something to the effect that he could not fix an engine (he was a theoretician, so this is understandable). So every redneck hot-rodder was doing something Einstein didn't know how to do.

My point is that America was built on low skilled laborers, and still became a World power. There were low and high skilled workers then as there are now. I mean, you are aware that there were scientists and mathematicians in those days, right?

Couples were urged to undergo sterilisation after their second child. Third or fourth children were given lower priorities in education and such families received fewer economic rebates.[30]<br />In 1983, Lee sparked the 'Great Marriage Debate' when he encouraged Singapore men to choose highly-educated women as wives.[31] He was concerned that a large number of graduate women were unmarried.[32] Some sections of the population, including graduate women, were upset by his views.[32] Nevertheless, a match-making agency Social Development Unit (SDU)[33] was set up to promote socialising among men and women graduates.[30] In the Graduate Mothers Scheme, Lee also introduced incentives such as tax rebates, schooling, and housing priorities for graduate mothers who had three or four children, in a reversal of the over-successful 'Stop-at-Two' family planning campaign in the 1960s and 1970s. By the late 1990s, the birth rate had fallen so low that Lee's successor Goh Chok Tong extended these incentives to all married women, and gave even more incentives, such as the 'baby bonus' scheme.[30]"<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Kuan_YewAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-31267066311804278022013-02-22T21:52:12.199-08:002013-02-22T21:52:12.199-08:00An analogous situation might be the New Jersey Dep...An analogous situation might be the New Jersey Department of Corrections use the Wonderlic as their guide to inmate employment placement.
